Back in my day WSG queues were 1 hour and I had to walk 15 miles through Ashvenvale just to get to the portal. Damn spoiled kids.
If you are prestige 0 the queue times are about 1 min. If not, well get f*cked.
Looks like the separation of prestige 0 players into their own purgatory and people queuing mercenary for bonus honor are the reasons for these queue times. Either fast queues and horrible games at prestige 0 or long queues and good games beyond prestige 0. Waiting to see what's gonna happen when these people that obviously returned only for the patch inevitable quit in 2 weeks.
If you disable Alterac Valley and Isle of Conquest your queue time should be a lot shorter.
Works for me.
I play on Darkspear.
Alliance queue times are always less than a minute. The most, 2 minutes. Does not matter the time of day either.
Horde? Minimum 8-10 minutes. Even if queueing with a group of 5 the least I've seen it is like 5 minutes. Not too bad.
Are "battlegroups" still a thing?
EDIT: 20 minute queue times??? What servers are you people playing on???
Which means you don't play for fun but just for the hamster wheel reward system?

Which proves this game is total garbage. Everyone plays this game only for the skinner box carrot. Remove the carrot, and people suddenly don't find any "fun" in doing the same grind in pve or pvp for 10 years.
I swear, WoW is just like any other generic f2p in terms of content depth, its just carrot on a stick
